Removing tar.gz packages is more difficult if you don't
keep track of what is getting installed. You are right.

I usually just remove the directory that it creates and installs
itself in, if it just puts a binary in /usr/bin, then just delete
that binary. I ususally leave the man pages in there. 
Midnight Commander sure comes in handy for doing those removals.
